This invention relates to smoking pipes and has Jfor its object the production. of a simple and efficient smoking pipe, which is so constructed as to keep the pipe cool, sweet, and prevent cracking of the pipe.

Another object of this invent-ion is the production of a simple and eilicient means for facilitating the cleaning oi the pipe for the purpose of keeping the pipe free from nicotine.

Vfith these and other objects in view, this invention consists in cert-ain novel constructions, combinations and arrangement ot parts, as will be hereinafter fully described 3o section of one end of the pipe tube showing the tip secured thereto.

Figure 7 is a longitudinal sectional view through a. portion of the pipe showing a modified form of the invention.

By referring to the drawing it will be seen that 1 designates the bowl ot the pipe which is provided with the usual stem 2, within which stem 2 is adapted to be placed the tube 3, one end of the tube 3 projecting from the stem 2 of the pipe and being secured andiit` ting into the mouthpiece or bit 4, as clearly illustrated in Figure l. The stem 2 of the pipe is provided with an enlarged pocket 5 near one end and extending for a portion ot the length of the stem 2, Jfor the purpose of keeping the tube cool and at the same time prevent the shank or stem of the bowl 2 from breaking while placing the tube 8 into the stem or shank 2 or removing the tube therefrom. The tube 3 is internally threaded and is adapted to receive the tip 6, which tip is 1931. Serial N0. 550,254.

threaded within the inner end of the tube 3 and is preferably formed of aluminum or other suitable metal. rllhis tip 6 is lprovided at its extreme inner end with an enlarged M pocket 7, which communicates with a taper- "D ing aperture 8 formed in the tip, the tapering aperture 8 widening toward its outer end where it engages the tube 3 and having the smaller end of the aperture 8 communicating i, the tip as b with the enlarged pocket 7 in shown Clearly in Figure 1.

il. metallic disc or saucer 9 is snugly litted in the bottom of the bowl 1 and this disc or saucer seat within the annular groove 11 formed in the bottom of the bowl l, thereby constituting an efficient seal for the bottom of carefully considering Figure 1.

The tip 6, as shown in Figure 1, is adapted to enter the bowl 1 just above the saucer or disc 9, so as to cause the saucer or disc 9 to lie below or beneath the draft aperture to the bowl as will be Clearly understood by .lm

keep the moisture from behind the lining 12. 7D

1717 ithin the bowl 1 the lining 12 above reier-red to is placed and this lining 12 may be made of any suitable or desired material but is preferably formed of carbon. The lining 12 is provided with a plurality of vertically extending or longitudinally extending channels 13 upon the outer face thereof to compensate for the expansion or" the cake formed after smoking the pipe. This lining 12 is preferably tapered toward its lower end and is provided with a suitable notch 14, near the bottom, for snugly litting over 'the tip 6 as shown in Figure 1.

The upper end of the bowl 1 is preterably provided with the shoulder 15 against which is adapted to abut the shoulder 16 of the threaded clamping ring 17, which clampingI ring 17 is adapted to be threaded into engagement with the internal threads ,95

formed on the upper end of the bowl 1. rlhe lower end or edge 18 of the clamping ring 17 is adapted to abut against the upper edge 19 of the lining 12, as shown clearly in F igure 1 of the drawing.

This clamping ring 17 will, as will be is provided with an annular de- M. y f pending flange 10, which is adapted to irmly d moisture from the'smoke and tobacco fromvir y* lodgingbetweenv thelining and the bottomv of the bowl as welljaspreventing the moistureV 'y from. getting -under the`disc or saucer 9, 1.5 therebyV keeping thef pipe fresh.V Further- 1 more, by having thejtip extend over theV Y 2f; V-
